Nice to know the grown-ups are in charge of strategic planning in the UK. Contrast the no-intellect kiddies and political scum in the USA. Congress passed an appropriation in 2008 to implement eLORAN, but some puffed-up asshat in the executive branch zeroed out the funding and nobody ever followed through.
I flat out don't believe anyone is stupid enough to go to any movie theater nowadays. You get a 10 times better picture and sound at home, you can hit pause any time for as long as you want, there are no scum of the earth making noise and disturbance, you don't have to smell popcorn unless that is YOUR choice.
Ever notice how the taxers never acknowledge they shit a big one when they propose a particularly hideous tax and get called on it?
This tax has been put "on hold", not burned, salted and buried in the deep grave as it deserves - and the sponsor disappear in disgrace from public life forever. The prime minister is unabashedly scheming how he can slip something else like it past the people as soon as possible.
I encountered CP/M before DEC PDP-11, but when I got to use the latter in the early 80s it was pretty obvious where CP/M got its pip from - and the slash options in various commands - and other stuff.
DEC OS/8 circa 1975 (RX01 floppy drives) (RT-11 pretty much the same) DK0>pip dk0:=dk1:file.tx (the extension was only 2 letters:-)
CP/M circa 1977 (Shugart SA800 8" floppy drives) A>pip a:=b:file.txt
In 1972 all I knew about computers was the HP-2100 mini, operating bare-metal by bootloading each program (one at a time of course) from paper tape. Luckily, our system (a computerized network analyzer for microwave testing) had the luxury of a high speed 300 cps optical tape reader in addition to the 10 cps ASR-35 with the mechanical paper tape reader. The latter was phenomenally reliable though. To my memory, it never glitched once my 6 years with it, but the optical reader was constantly going out of alignment and picked up errors from dust even when perfectly adjusted.
Anyone know what year the Shugart SA800 8" floppy drive was introduced? It's amazingly hard to track down online.
I don't think our AC(s) have the slightest idea how real life works. Developers don't "want their packages included" in any specific distro. Developers develop. They put the stuff out there and continually modernize it. Distros pick and choose what versions of what packages they include in any given release at the time of release. That's when all major revs are frozen for the duration of use of that distro release. The whole rat's nest of apps and libraries has to work together, You can't just update one piece of it.
The alternative is a rolling release like Arch, where every package is continually updated to the latest. The downside to that is when, for example, Apache 2.2 gets updated to 2.4 your website stops working because they changed the details of the config file. Rolling is the way to go for desktop where you don't want million year old obsolete packages preventing you from getting anything done, but not so much for servers.
This is to help the clueless understand. Obviously you know how it works.
This particular arrogant asshole "President" has shown himself perfectly willing to operate outside the Constitution for any purpose he cares about. If he really wanted the CDC to have more funding he would declare a state of emergency, recall Congress and demand it. If they didn't come through he would just throw a tantrum and stage showy shutdowns of selected highly visible government operations until they caved in.
Easy with the fan boi sucking-up there. Samsung is a CORPORATION. If they can't make products that are any fucking goddam good, to hell with them. You stand by your family and close friends through thick and thin, NOT corporations trying to get rich off the money you pay for their products. I'll reward the corps that prove themselves with my custom, just as long as it is to my advantage. Those that cynically betray me can go try to soak other customers; they will be dead to me.
If Samsung Heavy Industries makes good supertankers and windmills, fine. That doesn't affect my buying.
Noah had it easy back then. No one knew about bacteria, and no one ever dreamed in their wildest dreams that there were such things as viruses (whose status as life forms is debatable anyway). That's why all you ever see in the illustrations is giraffes, elephants, cattle and so on. As far as I can tell, it never occurred to anyone to wonder how insects were dealt with.
The ark was only 159 meters long if you take the Egyptian royal cubit as 529 mm. I'm pretty sure the animals had special orders not to eat or shit for the duration, because then it would have required a LOT more than two of each, eh? Also, losses must have been waved away - same reason.
If Wikipedia was a person I would smack it upside the head for shit like this. There is absolutely no reason not to have an article on LMDB, and deleting a perfectly good article for no reason is evidence of a mental disorder. It's not like they have to spend an extra penny for a piece of paper to hold the article, possibly making the book too thick. Wake up.
Yeah, I'm FAR from a Wikipedia hater, but when it pulls shit like this it reveals its stupidity.
You know, there is this thing called short term disability. Here's how the conversation goes with your employer. "Hi, I might have been exposed to a moderately communicable, and highly deadly virus. I'm going to need to be put on short term disability for the next 3 weeks while I'm monitored. BTW, firing somebody for being put on short term disability is highly illegal and I'll sue your ass off if you do."
All problems solved, they maintain 90% of their pay, don't put others at risk, and the employer loses nothing because it's an insurance policy that if they're of any size are required to carry anyway.

Good nazi.
Yeah, there's sure nothing like an empty blu-ray disc.

For the love of god, just rip the blu-ray to a file. That's what I do.

Sort of like how the Fukushima plant was designed to contain anything bad?
LOL!!! That's an amusing way to carry a phone. I just carry mine in my shirt pocket, or worst case, trousers pocket.
Maybe it should be named Pwncloud.

You rule for sure, Paul. The Teensy line is just amazing.
Lunatic. American business is run by a bunch of socialist thugs.
Nonsense. Many people are not worth minimum wage. They are not worth anything at all as workers.

Or, for those who wish to use appropriate and accepted units, 19 knots instead of 24 knots.
Utterly non-responsive to the challenge posed.
Snort. A particular form of aluminum oxide is no more aluminum than water is hydrogen - or ammonia is nitrogen - or rust is iron.
It's not a question of "arguing". It's a question of understanding. You should start with high school science and chemistry.

What fairy tale world are you living in?
Looks like you hit a nerve there with the shills.
Thank you. That was helpful. And nobody with a login could fucking bother helping us. Mod up the AC.
And then committed hara-kiri. Sayonara, Gnome.
